whatever

My Blog began in 2005- I write about "whatever" I am doing- about my husband (Danny) and our 5 grown children and grandchildren. I write about the things I love...from creating a new room to playing with my grand-kids...I share my blessings and my testimony about my Mormon Faith.{The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints} I love finding ways to be happy and enjoy the blessings I've been given....come what may.....Happy Day

Family History Journal-

Since I use this blog as a way to keep a family "history Journal" I need to remind myself from time to time to write...well...the everyday....highs and lows, and ups and downs-

Do you ever wish for something so hard it hurts?....I have, I do.

I have found the best way to work out my dreams is to give....yes, freely give no stings attached...at times this has brought unjust judgment ....sounds crazy... right?

Sometimes good meaning people tell me ... so and so said... "She's just trying to show off"

"She wants all the glory" or "Just who does she think she is?"

(what does a person say to that?....thank you?)

Because of these comments...from time to time I find myself holding back...not being me...not wanting to share..well...

We all have different talents...Happy Day for that!

I wish we all could understand that and let a little diversity enter our life...just think what we could learn from each other!

Now before you think I'm heading down a road to a little pity party...I'm not....... just sharing for history sake...that I have highs and lows, ups and downs.

and I wish....really wish and hope

that who I am is enough.

My Mother always taught me if you refuse a worthy gift given in love or friendship...is like slapping them twice...once for the thought and once for the gift. Perhaps breaking their giving nature....and you don't want to be responsible for that.

PS {if you ever receive something from me...a smile and a thank you is enough; you can throw it away later if you don't want it}

and I move on.... =)

Sunday I attended Sam and Heidi's ward...for a couple of reasons....Heidi was speaking and to help with the kids....Sam was home with a couple sick children...

During the meeting Preston give me a little note- which read- "Grammer I love you" and this picture.

Audrey sang each of the hymns at church at the top of her cute Audrey voice...with no worries ...don't you wish we all could do that?They have had a week of sickness running through their family....hope it ends soon.

and I move on again to....

Packages

Packages are starting to arrive with fun things for Jessica's baby shower.
